[DG: Teaching & Learning] Group submissions for Sakai 10

[Adam Marshall]

A screen shot would be helpful, so I have attached one.



I agree 100%. I would say that "Are Submissions for a groups" should NOT be listed under Access.



I would create a new section and have two radio buttons:



Individual or Group work



(o)Individual submissions

( )Group submissions



I'm not 100% set on the wording but an definite that it shouldn't be bracketed under 'Access' (which it is not). I'm also pretty set on having a radio button instead of a checkbox as that gives both sides of the coin so to speak.



That screenshot again:

Hi Pedagogy,



A new groups submission feature in Assignments is being turned on for Sakai 10. It's a very cool feature that allows any member of a group to submit an assignment on behalf of the group. By default, the group all receives the same grade. The instructor can override the grade for any member of the group. A very well thought out feature, imo.



However, as I was doing some QA03 testing (no, I'm not trying to lay a guilt trip on anyone ;-) ) , I noticed that to turn the feature on, you click a check box which says "Are submissions for a group?" .  This is just a little above "Display to selected groups".  The difference is that you might want an Assignment distributed to a particular group, and each student submits their own assignment, which is Display to selected groups. To me, the wording between these two options is too close and the difference is not clear. Wondering if this is just me?



It's too late to make a change for Sakai 10, but just being a trouble maker and curious what others think (maybe for a Sakai 10.x or Sakai 11).



Cheers,

Neal
